INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

 

 

Scope and policy

 

EGG is published tri-annually by ISCTE – Lisbon University Institute Business School. Its core theme is the analysis of the trends and problems of a global market economy in transition. Focus may be given either to the world context as a whole, the national context or to «mega-regions», such as the European Union, Asia Pacific or Southern Africa.

EGG also includes the publication of theoretical or applied studies in the various fields of management, including problems of the so-called non-profit organisations and of the social economy.

Openness and the convergence of the different disciplinary perspectives in the field of Social Sciences are encouraged and EGG focuses particularly on the multi cultural paradigm of human development.

In the first years of its publication, ISCTE – Lisbon University Institute Management Department worked in close collaboration with the University of Macao, the Hong Kong and Macao Studies Institute of the Zhongshan University of Canton. In this new phase, EGG seeks to develop cooperation with authors and entities which share its mission from any part of the world. However, and as a result of extension of the work of ISCTE – Lisbon University Institute Business School to different regions, there will be special emphasis on Brazil, Portuguese speaking Africa and China.

Any collaboration from the authors in the general interest of the review is welcomed. The articles sent to the Director will be analysed by two independent referees, members of the Editorial Committee or by people proposed by them in accordance with the subject matter. The texts may be in English, Portuguese or Spanish.

9. Material should be delivered with electronic support, preferably on an e-mail attachment. It is essential that all figures, graphs and tables are sent separately from the document in graph format (tif or eps), each on a separate page to simplify paging. Their place in the text should be indicated by a well marked intercalar line (i.e., “Figure 1 goes approximately here”).

10. Non-compliance with these publication norms leads to delays in their evaluation and paging and may result in the rejection of the work.

11. The articles are assessed by referees who may make suggestions to the author for improvements. This is a double blind process, i.e., the referees do not know who the author is and equally the author does not know who the referee is.

12. Proposals which do not receive an answer from the editor within three months should be considered rejected. In this case, the work is not returned but we guarantee it will be destroyed. The author will be notified if the work is accepted for publication.

13. On sending an article, it is understood that it is for exclusive publication in this Review and that it is of the entire responsibility of the author.

14. Authors will receive two complimentary copies of the issue of the Review in which their article is published.
